We have some fantastic incentive packages for runners who raise funds to help support the programs of the South Boston Neighborhood House.

Since 1901, the South Boston Neighborhood House has been helping individuals and families become self-sufficient and prosper in society. In a time of dwindling resources and strained budgets, your generous support is needed more than ever and will ensure that the Neighborhood House can continue these efforts.
